My PERM PWD was filed in early February and I’m still waiting. Almost all PWDs filed in the same month in my company have received determination, and all that are still in process are in the same department/team as me. I wonder what’s going on there.
What happens if a PWD takes more than 12 months to get approved? Would we have to file a new PWD since the 9141 wage survey is only valid for 12 months? (Feels like a PWD that takes >12 months to adjudicate would break the world record though).

Does anyone know a good trainer in nyc who works with folks with prior injuries (acl/shoulder issues) ?

Any indoor basketball courts in downtown toronto I could go to for drop ins/21 etc. I used to play before but the pandemic took me out of routine and I'm looking to get back to the court during winter (hopefully somewhere indoors)

Are the days of crazy returns on cards over? Any MLB, NFL, or NBA potential star goes for crazy high prices. Sounds like before you could pick up Luca or Mahomes cards before they proved their value, now that potential upside seems to be baked into the price. For example, a Mahomes PSA 10 Silver Prizm went for ~$200 in 2018, now an ungraded Herbert Silver Prizm goes for $1,100

Got a callback with a v50 after a screener last week. Extremely busy and everyone is always on my ass about what I'm doing when I'm not logged in. What are the best ways to take a half-day off after taking a half-day already last week?

Putting aside wachtell, what do we think are the best M&A shops for high value deals?

What does it mean when a partner gives associates, especially junior associates, origination credit? Practically, I don't think it makes a difference except maybe for bonuses, but I'm wondering if there's any deeper meaning than extending gratitude?

Leaving after one year to another biglaw firm?

What was the hardest class year for you? I used to think first year was by far the hardest but now I’m a third year and I’m really feeling the pressure to step up. I work in finance and at this point I’m expected to handle closing documents, manage first years, draft some portions of major docs, etc. I feel like I’m always frazzled, constantly second guessing if I handled something correctly and anxious to answer calls from clients/OC. The worst part is I think people can tell I’m a mess....

What’s big law like in San Francisco? Anyone have any insights to firm cultures or billable targets?

thoughts on clerking at the DE Chancery Court for an M&A associate?

Anyone else absolutely *loathe* being assigned new client matters at the end of the month when you know your billable time won’t count bc conflicts haven’t cleared yet? Just me?

Anyone at Fried Frank know what day bonuses are usually paid on?

Any idea why certain of the larger biglaw firms do not allow descriptive associate website bios unlike the more middle v100 firms?

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

There are many resources on good legal writing (Garner, Guberman, etc). Can anyone recommend a good resource on effective appellate oral advocacy?

Curious — do people consider billing 200ish hours a month a lot still or is that almost standard now?

What’s next on your expensive wishlist to make this job a little more comforting?

Been at my firm for less than a year. Giving notice next week and feeling very guilty. I know they’ll be cordial, but it’s causing me a lot of anxiety. Anyone else go through this recently? How did you deal with it?

Talking to a recruiter about an AmLaw 20 firm tomorrow. What questions do I ask other than salary, hours, remote work policy, etc?
